Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a freezing/refrigerating case, particularly a freezing/refrigerating case having a condensation receiving function.

(Prior Art) In a frozen/refrigerated show case for displaying frozen/refrigerated items, dew may adhere to the front door with a see-through window (glass, etc.), and the floor may become wet due to this dew.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a freezing/refrigerating case is known in which a dew receiving part 28 having a drainage structure inclined in the longitudinal direction (width direction of the door) is provided at the lower part of the door 27 at the upper end of the unit cover 29. ing.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the conventional dew receiving part 28 shown in FIG. There is a problem in that water accumulates in the portion 28, and as a result, dirt and the like tend to accumulate there.

However, in general, the lower end of the door 27 and the exposed portion 28
Considering the function of the dew catcher, the distance between the dew and the dew cannot be made too large (the appearance will be unsightly, and if a large gap is left, the dew may drip onto the floor). In particular, in the case of conventional dew pans that are inclined in the longitudinal direction, the concave shape of the dew pan makes it difficult to clean without opening the door.
Opening the door to clean the condensation pan is inconvenient from the standpoint of energy conservation or refrigeration.

An object of the present invention is to provide a freezing/refrigerating case having a condensation receiving structure that can be sufficiently and easily cleaned.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, in a freezer/refrigerator case provided with a door with a see-through window on the front of the main body, a A sloping dew catcher rail section with a drain pipe is provided, and a unit cover is provided to cover the dew catcher rail section.The upper part of this unit cover is slanted in the depth direction and is connected to the front of the main unit. A dew receiving part having a gap therebetween is provided integrally with the unit cover so as to be disposed between the dew receiving rail part and the door, and the unit cover is removably attached to the front of the main body. A frozen/refrigerated case is obtained.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on an example.

First, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the freezing/refrigerating case 1 is divided into an article storage chamber 3 surrounded by a heat insulating wall 2 and a unit chamber 4 located below the article storage chamber 3. A door 5 is attached to the front of the article storage room 3 via a magnetic packing (not shown), and the door 5 is made up of a transparent glass plate 6 and a frame that fixes the periphery of the glass plate 6. It consists of 7.

A ventilation passage 8 is formed along the bottom, back, and top surface in the article storage chamber 3, and a heat exchanger 9 and a blower 10 are disposed in the air passage 8 as shown in the figure. It is designed to circulate cold air inside the room. Further, the article storage room 3 is provided with a shelf 11 for displaying articles.

A refrigerator 12 is housed within the unit chamber 4, and this refrigerator 12 is connected to a heat exchanger 9. A unit cover 14 having an exposed portion 13 having a structure to be described later is attached to the upper front of the unit chamber 4, and a louver 16 having a vent 15 is attached to the lower front of the unit chamber 4.

Here, to explain the exposure structure in detail, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the side plate 17 of the freezing/refrigerating case (only one side plate 17 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4). The bracket 18 is attached to the door 5, and the bracket 18 is attached to both lower ends of the door 5.
(One of the brackets is not shown) is supported via a pair of shaft supports 19 and bearings 20.
First and second support members are attached to the side plate 17 below each bracket (only the first support member 21 is shown in FIG. 3). That is, the first and second support members are attached to the front surface of the main body at a predetermined interval in the width direction of the door 5.

The first support member 21 is formed by bending a plate, and as shown in the figure, the first support member 21 is formed by bending a plate.
1 and a second step located above the first step 211 and in front of the first step 211.
It has a stepped portion 212. Similarly, the second support member also has first and second step portions. The ends (one end is not shown) of the exposed rail portion 22 are connected to the first and second support members, respectively.
Further, both ends of the exposed rail portion 22 are fixed to the side plate 17.
As shown in FIG. 3, this exposed rail portion 22 has an open top surface, and is inclined so that its lowest point is on the left side of the center, as shown in FIG. There is. A hole (not shown) is provided at this lowest point, and a dew receiving pipe 23 is connected thereto. This exposure pipe 23 is connected to the unit chamber 4.
The unit chamber 4 is connected to an evaporating tray 24 which is disposed inside the unit chamber 4 and has a drainage hole.
A drainage tank 25 is provided to receive drainage from the tank 4.

Referring to FIG. 1, the structure of the unit cover 14 will be described. The unit cover 14 includes a first plate member 141 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section. This first plate member 141 is fixed to a second plate member (cover plate member) 142 with screws. Specifically, the second plate member 142
A first plate member 142a located on the front side of the first and second support members, and a second plate member 142 having an inverted L-shaped cross section formed at the lower end side of the first plate member 142a.
b, and a third plate member 142c formed on the upper end side of the first plate member 142a and having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section.
is attached to.

A third plate member (receiving plate member) 143 whose upper surface slopes downward in the depth direction is fixed to the third plate member 142c with screws. A fourth plate member 144 is disposed in contact with the lower side of the inclined surface of the third plate member 143. This fourth plate member 144 has an inclined surface and a side surface, and this inclined surface is connected to the third plate member 143.
The side surface is in contact with the inclined surface of the third plate body 142c.
is fixed with a screw.

When placing the unit cover 14 on the front surface of the unit chamber, place the joint between the tip of the third plate 142c and the fourth plate member 144 on the second stepped portion 212 of the first and second support members. After that, the second plate body 14 is attached to the hook member 26 attached to the side plate 17.
What is necessary is just to hook the tip part (lower end part) of 2b. As a result, the tip of the second plate 142b is hooked onto the hook member 26 in close contact with the front surface of the unit chamber. At this time, a gap 22a is formed between the tip of the inclined surface of the third plate member 143 used as the exposed portion and the case body.

In this way, the above joint part is used as a support end supported by the first and second support members at the second step part, and the tip of the second plate 142b is placed in close contact with the front surface of the unit chamber. It is used as a locking end that is hooked and locked to the hook member 26.

In addition, in the unit cover described above, the first and fourth
Although the plate members 141 and 144 were also used, these first and fourth plate members 141 and 144 are necessary plate members for reinforcement etc., and are not necessarily necessary plate members and can be omitted as appropriate. . If omitted, only the tip of the third plate 142c will be used as a support end.

In the case of the above-mentioned freezing/refrigerating show case, the dew adhering to the glass of the door falls down the glass surface due to its own weight, falls onto the third plate member 143, that is, the dew receiving part, and passes through the above-mentioned gap to receive the dew. It reaches the rail part 22 and further passes through the dew receiving pipe 23 to the evaporating dish 24.
reaches and evaporates here. Incidentally, the dew that has not been completely evaporated is disposed of in the drainage tank 25.

As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiments, by dividing the dew pan into two parts, the dew pan and the dew pan rail, and increasing the slope of the dew pan, a dew pan structure with good drainage that prevents water from accumulating can be achieved. I can do it. Further, since the dew receiving portion is not inclined in the longitudinal direction (it is inclined in the depth direction of the refrigerating case), the appearance will not be spoiled. Further, since the dew receiving part is not inclined in the longitudinal direction, that is, it has a planar shape, the dew receiving part can be cleaned even when the unit cover is attached.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, in the freezing/refrigerating case according to the invention, the dew receiving part is inclined in the depth direction, so the appearance is not spoiled by the dew receiving part, and the dew receiving part is Since it is not inclined in the longitudinal direction, it has the advantage of being easy to clean and less likely to accumulate dust. Furthermore, the dew pan is integrated into the unit cover, and the unit cover can be easily attached and removed with a single touch, making it easy to clean the dew pan structure itself, and the dew pan can be cleaned without opening the door. Therefore, it is also advantageous in terms of energy saving.
